The East End of Long Island has always been a place of great abundance. But does the growing concentration of wealth on the Twin Forks translate to economic opportunity for all, or does it deepen the ever-widening class divide? On this special broadcast, Emmy award-winning journalist Frank Sesno speaks with four community leaders who have unique insight into the troubles that confront the East End. Tela Troge of the Shinnecock Indian Nation, Sandra Dunn of OLA of Eastern Long Island, and Brenda Simmons of the Southampton African American Museum offer their perspectives from diverse communities bearing the brunt of the consequences of inequality and Riverhead Community Development Director Dawn Thomas shares her insight on what Riverhead is doing to preserve affordability and diversity - and avoid the fate of its eastern counterparts.
Confronting Inequality on Eastern Long Island is a WLIW-FM special program and a part of Chasing the Dream: Poverty, Justice and Opportunity in America, a public media reporting initiative from The WNET Group.
Major funding for Chasing the Dream is provided by The JPB Foundation with additional funding from The Peter G. Peterson and Joan Ganz Cooney Fund, and Sue and Edgar Wachenheim, III. You can learn more at pbs.org/chasingthedream.
